Koze Sushi Japanese Restaurant and Bar

Sushi restaurant

👍👍 I was in dire need of sushi and had to find a place in walking distance from the dealership/Target. Koze Sushi is in the same mini strip of store as It’s Boba Time, across from Sonic on Huntington. They just opened like three weeks ago! And the Chef is super friendly. The menu is super simple, with...

Lima Nikkei Westwood

Sushi restaurant

👍👍 This place is about to blowup!!! Nestled on the 2nd floor of 99 ranch market, this gem serves a Peruvian Japanese fusion presented by passionate craftsman. My favorite was the Masu (salmon) roll. Enjoy it at the bar or sit in the food court. Best part is they have a wine and beer bar to suit. Get r...

Namisen Sushi

Sushi restaurant

👍👍 Alright, HANDS-DOWN the best sushi place in the valley. This restaurant is fairly new but has some of the freshest, most satisfying sushis and rolls I've ever had. The chefs are very nice and friendly. I'd truly recommend the Garlic Edamame, BSC Roll, Toro Sushi, and Uni Sushi. I was brave enough to...

Bar Uerukamu

Authentic Japanese restaurant

👍👍 A hidden gem if you ask me. Tapas are generously and well seasoned for the purpose of alcohol consumption. The sushi options are unique and special. Sake and shochu options are authentically Japanese and really quite divine. Things you generally wouldn’t find in regular Japanese restaurants. The...

Sushi Tomoki

Sushi restaurant

👍👍 The food quality and flavor is well worth the price. We just got take out from here. The salmon melts in your mouth, the rolls a so fresh, and the crab’s texture is out of this world. They just opened and I can wait to see what they do next!

Sushi Iki

Sushi restaurant

👍👍 A must-do if you're in the area. An absolute intimate experience with Chef Eddie and his lovely wife. Took my mom for her birthday and we both had the best time. The uni and ikura were some of the finest I have ever had - indeed this place reminded me what good ikura actually tastes like. If you can...

Sushi Kaneyoshi

Sushi restaurant

😐 Good, but honestly not worth the hassle of getting a reservation when you will find an equally satisfactory (or better) experience at 715 Sushi, Ginza, or Morihiro. There was nothing that especially wowed me, though my favorite dishes of the night were the ankimo (monkfish liver) and mackerel handro...

IKI Ramen

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Takoyaki and ramen were incredible. I will definitely recommend you to reserve if you are planning on going in the evening. Service was quick and they had parking nearby which was really nice. Definitely recommend.

OOTORO LITTLE TOKYO

Sushi restaurant

👍👍 Pricey, dimly lit restaurant serving generous portions of fresh sushi. The chirashi bowl is a hearty meal with plenty of fish, great quality and decent for what you get. Friendly service, food came out fast. Tempura was flakey and warm. Parking is a nightmare on the weekends, if you don’t luck out w...

Sushi Enya Beverly Hills

Sushi restaurant

👍 Had a lovely dinner at Sushi Enya. The fish was very fresh and well prepared, the staff was friendly, and the restaurant is beautiful and relaxed. Compared to other sushi places in LA (and there are so many!) it is high quality but the price point is more expensive per piece even by sushi standards....

Niku Nashi Vegan Sushi

Vegan restaurant

👍👍 I've been here several times and cannot recommended it enough. Everything is tasty, the ambiance is gorgeous, and the location is great. The lunch menu prices are wonderful, but only available on the patio. To get these gorgeous and delicious cocktails, I prefer to dine inside. It is abundantly cle...

Kenbey Sushi

Sushi restaurant

👍👍 An amazing opportunity to have chef Kenji's almost undivided attention for omakase! I came on a Friday night at 8 PM and was the only party at the sushi bar. I opted for the $100 omakase and added Hokkaido scallop and Santa Barbara uni at the end. Kenji is very friendly and provided great commentary...

Go's Mart

Sushi restaurant

👍👍 This is my favorite sushi in LA and I've been to all the big ones. Very unique flavor and technique. Probably the freshest fish out there in LA and just so tasty. If this wasn't so far away I would definitely come here more often. Be prepared to pay for the quality.

Bar Sawa

Sushi restaurant

👍👍 Sawa is the sister to Sushi Kaneyoshi and it’s part food and part drinks. It’s a blend of both so if you go here you have to pair it with the drink menu. Anthony is the current star along with his crew and service is the top tier for omakase with a twist. I can’t wait to go back and see this place e...
